On the Jamaican music scene, Dwayne Parkinson, also known as ‘Damage’ is not only one of the finest producers in the island, but he is also the innovative CEO behind the Damage Musiq Recording Label. Damage has definitely redefined the boundaries of music in the small island by churning out hit after hit.  The producer’s hit making streak began in 2013 with hits from artistes such as Tommy Lee, Gully Bop and Shawn Storm, just to name a few.
	Clearly, the producer’s ingenuity has attracted and array of artistes, which makes him one of the most demanded producers on the music scene. However, his success has not swayed his humility or ideals as in a recent interview, he revealed that through his music he hopes to dissuade young people from crime and violence. The producer’s modesty juxtaposes the multitude of hits he has amassed and the name he has chosen to go by. However, after listening to his hits, it becomes clear why he has chosen the name Damage; as hit after hit, he has caused quite a stir in dancehall music. In fact, he has damaged the charts with hits that explode onto the radio with mostly positive receptions, creating an ever-growing fan base.
	Damage is a reminder that while the artist may host the talent, it is the combination of the inventiveness of skilled producers like himself that results in exceptional music.

my lost husband profile,he was a super, rest well till we meet again 🙏🙏🙏

STEBASS around 2001 he gets in contact with reggae music and its vibration while at college, listening to Bob Marley's classic tunes and being touched deeply by the sound of the bass guitar. Soon after, in the spring of 2002 he starts opening his ears up to other foundation reggae artists, such as Gregory Isaacs, Steel Pulse, Black Uhuru, Jimmy Cliff, Lucky Dube and Alpha Blondy; autumn comes and Stefano is employed as metal-worker in a factory…his first salary is used to the purchase a bass guitar. From that moment on, his relationship with the instrument is indissoluble: after a few lessons he learns 'Stir it up' and intimately realises that playing reggae music will be a part of himself forever on. In the first weeks of 2003 Stefano joins forces with a few friends to form a group called Roots Bamboo, where he meets a talented and inspirational trombonist called Zilvy, who will be his musical companion in future ventures too. In this period of his life, Stefano gets more and more hungry for live reggae music, travelling across Italy to see performances from the best national and international acts such as The Abyssinians, Gregory Isaacs, Steel Pulse, Jimmy Cliff, Lucky Dube, Alpha Blondy, Toots & The Maytals, Twinkle Brother, Steel Pulse, Groundation, Israel Vibration and The Wailers; seeing Aston Barrett performing is like a punch in his stomach, and Stefano feels the need to commit more and more to music, taking part in as many projects as possible and moving freely from blues to funky, up to new wave. After a few live gigs with Roots Bamboo his love for the bass becomes even stronger, and in 2005 Stefano decides to leave his daytime job and move to England for some years. While in Brighton he gets to know more of the UK style of reggae, and feels the power and deep spiritual vibes spread by sound systems such as Aba-Shanti-I, Jah Shaka and Channel One. As his knowledge increases, the taste in music is developing quickly…after an attempt at forming a live band, he decides to produce tunes on his own. In May 2007 he starts buying the machines and tools which will be the foundation of Stebass Music Studio, and composes his first stepper riddim, called Step One. At the end of 2007 Stefano is back to Italy for 2 years and continues producing dubs, helped by long-time collaborator Zilvy. The year 2010 marks a return to England(London), where the first release on Stebass music label sees the light on 10" vinyl; the tuff trombone instrumental on the B side is very well received by dub addicts and soundsystems, and gathers regular plays on Jah Shaka Sound. By the end of the year the second release is out in 12” vinyl, featuring the Brixton Mc Brother Culture, followed in 2011 by another single with the legendary jamaican singer Earl Zero. The month of September sees the launch of a CD compilation which gathers all the material which has come out on vinyl plus a few unreleased tracks featuring Chazbo out of Conscious Sounds and others.

 The story of UB40, and how this group of young friends from Birmingham transcended their working-class origins to become the world’s most successful reggae band is not the stuff of fairytales as might be imagined. The group’s led a charmed life in many respects it’s true, but it’s been a long haul since the days they’d meet up in the bars and clubs around Moseley, and some of them had to scrape by on less than £8 a week unemployment benefit. The choice was simple if you’d left school early. You could either work in one of the local factories, like Robin Campbell did, or scuffle along aimlessly whilst waiting for something else to happen.

By the summer of 1978, something else did happen, and the nucleus of UB40 began rehearsing in a local basement. Robin’s younger brother Ali, Earl Falconer, Brian Travers and James Brown all knew each other from Moseley School of Art, whilst Norman Hassan had been a friend of Ali’s since school. Initially, they thought of themselves as a "jazz-dub-reggae" band, but by the time Robin was persuaded to join and they’d recruited Michael Virtue and Astro – who’d learnt his craft with Birmingham sound-system Duke Alloy – the group had already aligned themselves to left-wing political ideals and forged their own identity, separate from the many punk and Two Tone outfits around at that time. The group had nailed their colours to the mast by naming themselves after an unemployment benefit form. Their political convictions hadn’t been gleaned second hand either, but cemented in place whilst attending marches protesting against the National Front, or rallies organised by Rock Against Racism.

By the time Chrissie Hynde invited them to tour with the Pretenders during the summer of 1980 and their debut single "King b/w Food For Thought" had sailed into the UK Top 5, all the essential elements of UB40 were already in place. Their line-up will remain unchanged for almost thirty years, and they will continue playing a mix of original material and inspired choice of reggae covers in a style that’s instantly accessible with its bright melodies and sweeping horn arrangements – one that’s allied to a formidable rhythm section, capable of holding its own with anything from Jamaica.

UB40’s first album was released the following September, on Graduate Records. Their deal allowed them more creative freedom than if they had signed with a major label. The cover artwork memorably duplicated an unemployment benefit card, with the title "Signing Off" rubber-stamped in red, but it was the music that quickly worked its way into the affections of a young, mainly student crowd with its knowing lyrics, solid reggae rhythms and dubby, instrumental passages, offset by warm horn solos and Jamaican style scatting. There was nothing else like it at the time. As a multi-cultural band from Birmingham, UB40 weren’t drawn into trying to sound "authentic," and there was considerably more depth to their music than that of many punk and 2Tone bands. "I’m a British subject, not proud of it, whilst I carry the burden of shame," they sang on one of the tracks. Accepting the truth of their own situation amidst a sea of other reggae songs proclaiming black heritage gave us a valuable insight into where UB40 were coming from. They were unafraid to stand up and be counted, and British audiences instinctively loved them for it. "Signing Off" duly went to No. 2 in the UK and stayed on the nation’s album charts for 72 weeks.

On September 2nd, 2013, UB40 released their latest album ‘Getting Over The Storm’ on Universal/Virgin Records.
